Operation

Modes of Operation

The method used to apply tape is set by the
combination of the TAPE LINE TYPE setting
and the MODE setting. Once both are set via
the display, tape application is started and
stopped with the tape application button
mounted on the handlebar.
Notes:
•
If the carriage is in the UP position, the
control will not allow taping to start.
•
The lengths of skips and spaces are set
on the Tape Skip and Space Lengths
striping screen. Preset lengths can be
selected by pressing the 'A', 'B', or 'C'
button. New presets can be saved by
pressing and holding the preset buttons.
•
Semi-Auto and Skip is the most
commonly used mode of operation and
is recommended for majority of
applications.
•
Unit can begin laying with a space
instead of a line, if desired. This can be
accessed in the Settings Menu.

Skip
Press the tape application button
once to lay a single skip of a
designated length.
Press the tape application button
once to start applying the set
skip-space cycle. Press tape
application button again to end
cycle.
Press and hold the tape
application button to start
applying the set skip-space
cycle. Release tape application
button to end cycle.
CUT DELAY – the end of each skip can
be adjusted if necessary to correct for
mechanical variations that cause a
discrepancy between the programmed
skip length and the actual length of tape
placed on the road. To adjust Cut Delay,
see, Cut Delay, page 33. Note that in
AUTO mode, the corresponding space
distance is also adjusted to maintain the
set cycle length (sum of the skip and
space lengths).
Discrepancies with line length accuracy,
especially in AUTO MODE, can be
improved by adding weight in the
on-board payload compartment
between the rear axle. DO NOT add
weight to the front of the TapeLazer, as
this will cause the rear tire to lose
connection to the pavement causing loss
of wheel sensor accuracy.
Refer to LazerGuide manual (3A5294)
for installation and operating instructions
if using the LazerGuide instead of the
mechanical pointer.
